Oh man, if you like that paper do I have the list for you. We used this list while doing some literature review when we were doing research on HPs memristors <a href="http://webee.technion.ac.il/people/skva/new_full_reference_list.htm" rel="nofollow">http://webee.technion.ac.il/people/skva/new_full_reference_l...</a>. That covers a pretty wide range of topics related to memristors
There's another similar such element - which has a somewhat confusingly similar name:<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memistor" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memistor</a><p>It was developed by Bernard Widrow in 1960, whereas the memristor was envisioned and named in 1971 - but not found to actually exist until 2008.<p>The memistor was most "famously" used to develop a couple of artificial intelligence (neural network) systems, ADALINE and MADALINE:<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADALINE" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADALINE</a><p>Note that if you try to google "memistor", you'll maddeningly get suggestions and results for "memristors" instead - even when you tell google to show you only results for memistors only; this makes finding information about them online difficult. It's best to add to your search "adaline", "madaline", and/or "widrow".<p>The main difference between the two devices are that the memistor is a three-terminal device, versus the memristor being a two-terminal device. You can think of the memistor as being a "memory transistor" vs the memristor as a "memory resistor". This is gross simplification, of course.<p>One other interesting thing about ADALINE is how simple the memistors are to construct; you can effectively re-create ADALINE at home, as Widrow's paper shows:<p><a href="http://www-isl.stanford.edu/~widrow/papers/t1960anadaptive.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www-isl.stanford.edu/~widrow/papers/t1960anadaptive.p...</a><p>On the topic of memristors - they can be DIY'd as well:<p><a href="http://sparkbangbuzz.com/memristor/memristor.htm" rel="nofollow">http://sparkbangbuzz.com/memristor/memristor.htm</a><p>Finally - if you're interested in this kind of thing (that is, implementing hardware analogs of brain functionality), google "neuromorphic computing"...
Brains have the equivalent of memristors. Changing the value of the memristors gets harder the more charge it has. That is why spaced repetition as a learning method works as a memory technique.<p>When we sleep the brain organsizes and decides what to keep/forget. Artificial intelligence probably needs to emulate sleep.
Ok, I get that capacitors and inductors are opposites, but I've yet to understand the significance of why the memristor is the opposite of a resistor... Chalk it up to my primitive knowledge of analog design.<p>Couldn't theoretically there be a mempacitor and a memductor as well?
Here's a nice talk about memristors:<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKGhvKyjgLY" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKGhvKyjgLY</a>
